I really appreciate Anselm House executive director Bryan Bademan's piece here, outlining Anselm House's "third way" model of Christian engagement with mainstream university life. The campus ministry model and the Christian college model, he writes, "share one striking thing in common: they are both largely peripheral to the life and work of the modern public research university; you might say they leave the mainstream university alone.
Christian colleges are often worlds away from major universities, both figuratively and literally, while campus ministries serve the personal faith lives of students but rarely engage with graduate students, faculty, or the academic missions of universities themselves.
Friends, this situation has had tragic consequences, as it’s contributed to a widening divide between faith and knowledge in our universities, churches, and lives."
